The QUALICHeCK project works towards improved compliance and quality of the works for better energy performance of buildings. One of the output formats of the project are so-called factsheets: brief documents which comprehensively present a specific situation, framework or practice, relevant to the aspects of quality and compliance examined by QUALICHECK, namely: “Status on the Ground”, “Compliant and Easily Accessible EPC Input Data”, “Quality of the Works”, and “Compliance and Effective Penalties”. The aim is to highlight and document interesting approaches, which could be adapted and applied further and elsewhere. To this end, the factsheets analyse approaches that have been implemented, point out the pros and cons of options that may be considered, and give hints and pitfalls to avoid if replicated in other contexts.

This article gives an overview of the 57 factsheets produced within the framework of QUALICHeCK.

All factsheets, in chronological order, are available at http://qualicheck-platform.eu/results/fact-sheets/factsheets-by-date/#

To access only the fact sheets relevant for the topic of your interest, go to http://qualicheck-platform.eu/results/fact-sheets/factsheets-by-topic/ and click on the link inside the relevant cell.
